Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute have succeeded in generating the lung's most important immune cell, the alveolar macrophage, in the lab. The cell culture model will make it much ...

To start off, could you introduce yourselves and Unicorn Biotechnologies? Jack: I’m Jack, one of the co-founders of Unicorn Biotechnologies. My background is in chemistry, and I’ve worked across ...

A Simple Touchscreen Fluorescence Cell Imager Improves Workflow for Routine Applications Whether it’s for gaining a better understanding of how cells work, studying the effects of drugs or toxins on ...

You might be old enough to remember the famous “Where’s the Beef?” Wendy’s commercials. This question may be asked in a different context since U.S. regulators approved the sale of lab-grown chicken ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute have created a better brain. It’s a human brain, but it’s very small and it’s used for research. KPBS Sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge tells us about organoids, and how ...

Scientists at the biotechnology company New Dawn Bio are planting ideas to cultivate wood in the lab to save the forests.

Researchers developed a new cell culture system for expanding human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the laboratory. The new system's culture medium is free of cytokines and albumin, once believed ...

Mycoplasma contamination is prevalent in cell culture labs: in one study, researchers identified mycoplasma contamination in 11% of the 10,000 cell lines they tested (Olarerin-George et al. 2015).

Sustainability in the cell culture lab is no longer optional, but knowing what truly makes an impact can be challenging. With increasing claims and product labels in the market, it can be difficult to ...

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

Mycoplasma is a common bacterial contaminator in cell culture laboratories. Mycoplasma contamination has been shown to induce cellular changes, e.g. susceptibility to drugs, which could render any ...
